Thaw the chilliest of hearts with the Women's Columbia Melting Point Parka. A 3-in-1 system, (though not zip-in compatible) this pair of jackets is ridiculously waterproof and breathable, not to mention warm. It all starts with the Omni-Dry ultra-breathable waterproof fully seam sealed shell, complete with removable hood, pit zips and removable powder skirt. Inside, the liner jacket has been treated with Omni-Shield for a water repellant finish, and then makes use of Omni-Heat and its thermal reflective technology. Breathable stretch panels on the liner let heat and perspiration move to the next layer for dispersal, or simply to vent if the liner is worn alone. A host of other features pepper the jackets, like an abrasion resistant chin guard, articulated elbows, comfort cuffs (on the liner) and more pockets than you could ever hope to fill. Wear the jackets separately, or together, depending on whether you're a solid, or a liquid, and achieve your perfect temperature in the Melting Point Parka for women from Columbia.
